Crypto Income: BlackRocks’ Forthcoming Bitcoin Premium Income ETF

Reported by Jordan Chussler. Posted: 1/29/2026. 

When investors seek yield, they typically turn to fixed income—corporate and municipal bonds, Treasury bills, CDs and annuities—or to the equities market.

But with interest rates having fallen substantially over the past two years, debt securities no longer offer the same appeal to income-focused investors as they once did.

As a result, sectors historically associated with strong dividends—such as utilities, energy, and real estate—have seen notable inflows as the rotation out of fixed income continues. Soon, income investors will have another option: a premium income exchange-traded fund (ETF) with exposure to crypto.

The Issue With Crypto Exposure Via Traditional Equity Markets

Article Highlights

• With lower interest rates in 2026, investors are increasingly turning to dividend-paying stocks and ETFs to bolster their income streams.
• Those options now include funds that provide exposure to crypto markets while also generating income.
• BlackRock recently filed for approval of a Bitcoin income ETF that uses options strategies to generate yield while giving shareholders access to BTC prices.

Prior to 2024, investors seeking exposure to crypto such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) often had to navigate the convoluted decentralized finance—or DeFi—landscape, with its esoteric terminology: hard and soft forks, cold and hot wallets, tokenization, halving, staking and more.

That changed when the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the first 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs on Jan. 10, 2024, giving investors who were uncomfortable with DeFi but familiar with traditional equity markets a simpler way to gain crypto exposure.

They have been doing so in record numbers. ETFs overall have grown to exceed individually listed stocks, and in 2025, BTC and ETH funds added more than $32 billion.

One inherent issue with crypto—and crypto ETFs for that matter—is that, like gold and silver, the asset class does not inherently produce yield. While some coins and tokens offer passive income via staking, that remains the exception rather than the rule.

However, one financial services firm is planning to leverage crypto through traditional equity markets to enable investors to generate income from Bitcoin, the largest crypto by market cap at $1.56 trillion.

BlackRock’s Premium Bitcoin Income ETF Solution

BlackRock (NYSE: BLK) has taken the next step in bridging the divide between traditional equity income investors and crypto markets.

On Jan. 23, the company filed an SEC Form S-1 registration for the iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF. While it will not be the first fund to lean on crypto for income generation, the ETF will join a small but growing group of products that use covered call strategies to produce yield.

Fundamentally, BlackRock is creating a product that operates similarly to popular dividend-focused funds like the JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (NYSEARCA: JEPI) or the NEOS S&P 500 High Income ETF (BATS: SPYI).

The major difference is that, according to BlackRock’s SEC filing, the forthcoming fund will track the “performance of the price of Bitcoin while providing premium income through an actively managed strategy of writing (selling) call options on IBIT shares and, from time to time, on indices that track spot bitcoin exchange-traded products (‘ETPs’), including [iShares Bitcoin Trust] (such indices, ‘ETP Indices’).”

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ: IBIT) will be the ETP from which the call options are written. The passively managed fund, which tracks the spot price of Bitcoin, was launched on Jan. 5, 2024. Since then it has amassed more than $64 billion in assets under management and is now the largest Bitcoin spot ETF on the market.

A Subtle Reminder About Risk Tolerance

The fund aims to capture Bitcoin’s upside and translate it into yield, but that approach carries notable risks.

In its Form S-1 filing, BlackRock noted that—similar to the crypto market itself—“the trading prices of many digital assets, including Bitcoin, have experienced extreme volatility in recent periods,” adding that “extreme volatility in the future, including further declines in the trading prices of Bitcoin, could have a material adverse effect on the value of the shares.”

Regulatory ambiguity is another concern. BlackRock’s filing highlighted that “digital asset markets in the United States exist in a state of regulatory uncertainty, and adverse legislative or regulatory developments could significantly harm the value of Bitcoin or the shares.”

Because income investors often have lower risk tolerances, this fund may not suit everyone—particularly retirees focused on preserving capital while maintaining their lifestyles.

Prospective shareholders should conduct thorough due diligence to determine whether BlackRock’s Bitcoin income ETF fits within an otherwise lower-volatility, dividend-focused portfolio.
